Amida — Goko Shiyui Cat Buddha is a small, hand-carved wooden figure that reimagines the calm presence of Amida through the gentle form of a seated cat.

Carved from Kiso Hinoki (Japanese cypress), it has a light, warm feel and a quiet expression. Subtle differences in face and finish are part of the character of each individually made piece.

About this piece

This statue is made by traditional wood carving, shaped by a Japanese busshi (Buddhist sculptor) from Kiso Hinoki. The model draws on the long-established Amida Triad as a historical reference, translated into a compact “Goko Shiyui” cat form with an emphasis on composed posture and gentle accompaniment. Such reinterpretations arise from workshop practice that adapts classical Buddhist sculpture lineages into small-scale works suited to personal spaces, while keeping the disciplined proportions and calm finish associated with temple-carving traditions.

Cultural note

In Japan, images of Amida (Amitābha) are widely associated with Pure Land Buddhism and are approached as objects of reverence that express welcome and reassurance. Even when rendered in a softened, everyday form, they are generally treated with a respectful mindset: placed thoughtfully, kept above floor level when possible, and handled with clean hands and steady attention. Many people avoid treating such figures as casual décor; instead, they give them a settled place and a quiet moment of acknowledgment when passing by.

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)

You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.

This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with.
